Open page in new tab?

i like that you can open up multiple pages in safari in a way similar to tabs, and links that pop new windows automatically pop a new page. but can you choose to open links in new pages that arent set to do so in the html already? Im used to reading a message forum or search page and keeping it open as the main navigation point, and spawning multiple tabs of what i want to check out. With the edge network slowness, keeping a hub page of links open rather than having to reload pages seems extra important. so...any way to hover over a link and make it open in new page rather than same page on iphone Safari? i sure cant figure out how...
semi-related: any way to save a cached version of a page on the phone? i want to be able to repload some stuff before i travel and wont have good connectivity, but it seems a bit odd and when it tries to refresh content. In particular, I pulled the giant (for EDGE) pdf of iphone instructions, and would like to be able to either save it or cache it or whatever so it stays local on the phone. I dont think this is currently possible...but sure should be...any ideaS?

I tend to browse the same way on sites like Forums or when I want to read a linked in story later, while retaining the main story to continue to read and go back to. If you or anyone else find a way to do this (i.e. the equivalent of the "apple" + click on the desktop Safari) let me know.
If there is no way to do this currently, Apple should add this functionality in the next patch. It would make browsing better, particularly on the iPhone for the reasons you mention.

Why can't I scroll or use MMB to open pages in new tab, when I have a PDF file opened in FF4?

If I have a PDF file opened in firefox 4, I am for unknow reason unable to open pages in new tabs with MMB or scroll thepage up or down. The scroll function isn't working at all, and it seems like I'd be scrolling the PDF file, not the page of my current tab.

Hi aK'
Nice, memorable user name!
-1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.
Regards,
Barry

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Opening pages in new tabs is slow and switches to the new tab and back. How can I stop this?

I work with a lot of tabs and most of the time, I need pages in new tabs to open fast. Recently, whenever I open a page in a new tab, Firefox goes to the new tab for a second, then back to the tab I was on previously, although I have it set to not automatically go to new tabs. This is slowing me down and I'd really like it to stop. I've even tried just having one tab open.

Opening pages in new tab from Bookmark Folder

From my Bookmark bar, I can open up a bookmark in a new tab by Cmd-clicking on it--just like any ol' regular link. But when the bookmark is in a folder, Cmd-clicking opens up in the current tab. I'd like it to open in a new tab. Am I doing something wrong? I'd hate to think I have to open up a new tab and then open the bookmark...

Hi Brian,
You're not doing anything wrong - it just doesn't work the way most people would expect.

Open pages in new tabs

Preferences are set to open new sites in a new TAB, but it keeps opening them in a whole new window. I want TABs like my old Firefox. How do I teach stupid software to be smarter in this??

Are you clicking links in ordinary web pages, or do you mean from external applications?
Do you have any tab-related add-ons, such as Tab Mix Plus? If so, please check their settings in case they are overriding the built-in settings.

Button bar buttons open pages in new tab!

It was working yesterday (pages opened in current tab) but now it's broken. Help would be great! Thanks

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari. Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, not move it back to the Preferences folder.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
And empty the Safari cache from the menu bar. That may help also.

Browsers display pages in new tab

My default browser is Chrome but I also use Firefox and Safari on my iMac. Since installation of Yosemite, I have a sporadic problem when the browser starts opening a link or displaying successive pages in a new tab rather than replacing the on-screen page with a new page within the same tab. The only way to stop that is to Quit the browser and relaunch. This occurs from time to time in all 3 of the web browsers I use.
I have gone into the preferences and, where possible, made sure the " open page in new tab" is not enabled. As far as I know, I have not made any changes that would have caused this phenomenon since installing OS X 10.10. Any ideas or thoughts would be welcome.

When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?

I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

I would like the window that opens with a new tab to be my home page. Instead it's YAHOO and I don't like it. How do I fix this so new tab is homepage?

When I Ctrl+t to get a new tab it opens with YAHOO as the page. I would like it to open my HOMEPAGE.

You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777
You may need to check other extensions if they are overriding the page that opens in a new tab.

A new tab is opening when I click anything on a page. Options that should open within the same window are opening in a new tab. How do I fix this?

I am currently using 16.0.2. I just did the update a day or two ago. Suddenly today, when I click anything on the page, it opens in a new tab. Just moving through the wizard options to get to this point in submitting this issue opened 7 tabs. How do I fix this? I only want new pages to open in new tabs. If I select 'Next Page' or perform a google search, I don't want a new tab to open. This is getting ridiculous. It's the third time this has happened.....always happens after an update from you guys.....and I can never find the fix in your support pages, and have to submit a question.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...
HELP!
Thanks in advance...

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How do I get news stories I click from my Yahoo home page to open in a new tab?

At one point, whenever I clicked on a news story on my Yahoo home page the story would open in a new tab, leaving the home page unchanged. When I updated Firefox, this feature was eliminated. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Hmm, this isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, but here are a couple possibilities:
(1) Maybe Yahoo has a setting for this, but it is stored in a cookie and the cookie got wiped out somehow?
(2) Maybe one of your add-ons has a setting for this, but the add-on was disabled during the update because it needs to be updated for Firefox 30?
You can check whether any of your extensions are disabled or need updating on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones appear toward the bottom on a gray background.
To check for extension updates, at the top above the list, click the "gear" button, then Check for Updates.
Anything relevant there?
The "manual" methods for opening a link in a new tab are:
* hold down the Command key while clicking the link
* "middle-click" the link with a mouse scroll wheel
* right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab
If command+click doesn't work, this can indicate that a script attached to the link and is overriding normal Firefox behavior.
